Rainy Days

Louisa Burgess
We need a rainy day
I don't remember the last
a day to contemplate and
sleep late and perhaps
get things done

Rainy days are not the best
but sometimes I just need
to sort through stuff and clean
without the sun calling
and pushing me outside

Rainy days are good for
some things you wouldn't otherwise
do like go to a movie
in the afternoon instead
of doing that at night

A rainy day can be welcome
if the temperatures have been
soaring high above normal
and something is needed to
tone down the heat

Rainy days and I don't
usually get along but
I would be happy right now
just so I can sit and listen
to the rain drops coming down
